unspotted fuscous margin, and the under side a slightly striolated one, with 
spots resembling those of Panda. 
Only on one occasion have I seen this species in life, viz., on the 12th March 
1867, when it was by no means uncommon in the "Thorns" country near 
Greytown, in Natal. About the steep exposed hillsides specimens of both 
sexes flitted constantly, but with no activity, keeping close to the ground, and 
frequently settling on it. The elaborately-ornamented under side of the wings 
was not conspicuous at a little distance.

Imago. — Head small, very hairy ; eyes smooth ; ^9^/^^?^ loiig? slightly 
ascendant, covered with hair throughout, but especially beneath, where 
the hairs are densely set, long, and bristly, — the terminal joint rather 
long, slender, acute ; antennce short, with the club usually rather 
elongate and gradually thickened, but in some species (P. Sabacus, 
Eijppia, vigilans, &c.) more abruptly formed. 
Thorax short and narrow, more or less hairy above, densely hairy 
beneath. Fore-wings with costa moderately or slightly arched ; hind- 
margin entire, nearly straight ; costal nervure only swollen at base ; 
discoidal cell short, broad, the nervules closing it forming a more or less 
obtuse angle towards base at junction of lower discoidal (radial) nervule ; 
first branch of subcostal nervure arising just before or at extremity of 
discoidal cell, second branch a long way beyond it. Hind-ivings with 
hind-margin entire or very slightly sinuated ; anal angle somewhat 
prominent ; discoidal cell short superiorly but prolonged inferiorly, 
the closing nervules running very obliquely, and the lower one being 
twice as long as the upper. Fore-legs of 6 minute, scaly ; tibia and 
tarsus together but little longer than femur ; a scanty clothing of 
rather short bristly hairs on femur ; tibia and tarsus densely clothed 
with very long stiff hairs ; of 5 rather long, slender, scaly ; femur and
